Crystal Palace take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 36 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, April 6th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace have mainly been under Hodgson's guidance in recent years, showing stable but traditionally modest, even mediocre results. Project manager Steve Parish had already replaced the veteran, but Patrick Vieira lasted a year and a half in London, and after a promising first season, he struggled with the downturn in the midst of 2022/2023, being replaced by Old Roy. He did decently, but didn't overachieve, and his age and health condition were obstacles. Eventually, Glasner replaced him at the end of winter. The Austrian had not worked in England before, and he was given the opportunity to acclimatize in the spring. He did start relatively weakly - debuting with a victory against the modest Burnley, then securing draws and suffering defeats with his new team. However, in April, they managed to hold Liverpool to a 1-0 at Anfield, followed by a 5-2 thrashing of West Ham and a solid 2-0 win against Newcastle. Against this backdrop, even the 1-1 draw with Fulham looks like a setback!

Manchester United turned out to be one of the disappointments of the season. Under Ten Hag in 2023, the Red Devils rose to third place in the Premier League and won the League Cup. But in the new season, even before the end of December, it continued with a Champions League failure - upon returning there, they managed to lose not only to Bayern but also to Tottenham and Galatasaray. And in the League Cup, the title holder, again after playing Newcastle in the final in autumn, suffered a 0-3 defeat at home. The decline continued in the Premier League, where they play brightly but often unsuccessfully, conceding at least as many goals as they score. What about the country's cup semifinal, where, after thrashing the modest Coventry at Wembley Stadium, they allowed them to equalize, conceding three goals. And it's a good thing that the opponent's goal in the 120th minute was disallowed, and then the penalty shootout was successful. But City awaits in the final. In the Premier League, it's difficult to rise above 6th place. Especially since the last round ended only with a draw against Burnley.
In the last round, United took 4 points from the Eagles and beat them in the cup in September. But literally a week later, they lost to them in the Premier League. It has come to the point where United are rated lower than such an opponent. Let's stick with a neutral bet that there will be total over 3.0 goals in this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
